Mr.. Cdmden's letter.

TO the Democratic Members Of the Legislature:
GENTLEMEN After a service of six
years in the United States Senate, service
in which | have the consciousness of having
discharged faithfully my duty to my State
and to the country, you honored me by
denomination to the same exalted position.
This action on your part did all that the
party could do to give expression to party
approval and party confidence. Five gen.
tlemen in the Legislature not of our party
faith have voluntarily added the contiibu-
ton of their votes, thus bringing the graft
fying assurance that faithful effort to meet
honorably the obligations of the public SER
vice has not been wanting in just apprecia-
ton even beyond the lines of party. This
fact has been gratifying to me, because |
appreciate the good will along with yours,
of the persons who have thus honored me,
and because it emphasizes your reputation
of the violence Of personal assault with
which the malice of some and the political
avarice of others have conspired TO envelop
this contest. The time has come, however,
when a double obligation seems to confront
me. The first Is to assure you of my sense
of gratitude to you collectively and individ-
ualy for your devoted loyalty to the party
and to me through this protracted struggle.
To this | desire to add likewise a strong
sense of gratitude to those other gentlemen
who have magnanimously supported my
election. The second is, to announce my
conviction that the best interests of the
Democratic party and the State requires
that shall ask you to consider my name
no further in connection with the Senate
rial election, but to support some other gen
tleman upon you can agreee and whom,
trust, you may be able to elect. Such &C.
ton in the premises as your wisdom may
suggest will have my hearty concurrence,
and do not doubt the cordial support Of
all good Democrats.
Self-respect impels me, however, to add
lNlS one tud!lllCdllOu " tue ioiCEoiH5 ~
quest. My friends will not consent to a
party caucus with any understanding re-
strictive with the use of my name, or the
name of any other Democrat. They are
willing that l should go down with the or
ganization of my party and with them coun-
selling harmony and reasonable concessions,
but they are not willing that humiliation
shall be added to defeat. Your own sense
of Justice will at once repel the idea that
caucus shall be held with the understand
ing that am the only Democrat in the
State who is unworthy of its consideration.
A minority may defeat the expressed will
of the majority and this at the expense OF
party practices of whose benefits they have
every one been the recipients, but never
with the assent of my friends shall the tyr
amy of arbitrary revolt disfranchise even
the humblest citizen in the ranks of the
Democratic party. Very sincerely,
J. n. CAMDEN.

ed by former friends and enemies alike to
be without a superior in the performance of
the delicate and responsible duties apper-
tanning to the position.
Senator Camden's friends and right think.
ing Democrats generally are disappointed
and chagrned at that gentleman's failure
of reelection, especially after receiving
within two of the requisite number of votes.
They feel that great injustice has been
done Mr. Camden; that the will of the
people has been thwarted, the State robbed
of the services of one of the best represen-
tatives it has ever had and a principle es-
tablished which may do the State incalcu-
liable harm. But since Mr.. Camden's re-
election was made impossible because of the
conscientious scruples of a few gentlemen
who seem to be righteous above what is
written" they feel that his mantle could
hardly have fallen upon one better fitted to
wear it than the young Berkeley Democrat
whose mental qualifications and whose
character as a man have commanded the
admiration of all. But little expression of
opinion has been heard as yet regarding the
election of Judge Faulkner from those who
were opponents of Mr.. Camden. There is
some speculation as to Governor Wilson's
probable action in appointing a successor
to Judge Faulkner. 1t can but be acknowl-
edged by all that Hon. VIM. II. Travers, il
chosen, would bring to the bench rare legal
ability, and such an appointment would
merit and receive the highest commenda-
ton 1t is not probable, however, that
Mr.. Travers would resign his extensive
practice to accept the judgship. Among
those members of the Charlestown bar who
might find favor in the Governors eyes are,
Joseph Trapnell Hon. James NJ. Mason,
F. w. Brown, States Attorney; Col. Frank
Beckwith, who, because of his well-known
political sympathy with Governor Wilson,
is believed to stand an excellent chance,
and Thomas Claiborne Green, Jr., son of
Judge Green of the West Virginia Supreme
Court, who, coming of a line of dis
tinguished justices, and possessing undoubt-
ed legal ability, would wear the ermine
with grace and dignity.
Some good natured criticism is INDUCED
upon the action of Delegates Chew and
Beckwith who, though they thought it lille
gal to vote for a Senator, voted, and voted
for Mr. Lucas, who, according to their the
cries, did not need their votes having al
ready legal commission.
1t is believed and hoped that the cleo
ton of Judge Faulkner will do much to
heal party differences and restore harmony.

The Effects OF Mental Erhaust,on

MANY diseases, especially those OF the ner.
vous system, are the products ofdaiIy renewed
mental exhaustion. Business avocatious Of.
ten involve an amount of mental wear and
'ear very prejudlcial to physical health, and
lne proifessiocs, if arduously pursued, are no
less destructive to brain and nerve tissue. 1t
Is one oi the most important attributes Of
Hostetters's Stomach Bitters, that it compen.
safes for this undue loss Of tissue, and that it
imparts new energy to the brain and nerves.
The rapidity with which it renews weakened
mental energy and physical vitality is remark
able, and shows that its invigoratinc properties
are OF the highest order. Besides increasing
vital stamina, and counteracting the effects o
mental exhaustion, this potential medicine
cures and prevents fever and ague, rheumatism
Chronic dyspepsia and constipation, kidney
and uterine weakness and other complaints
physicians also commend it as medicated
stimulant and remedy,
